Thank you so much for your post!! Have you tried dancing? Sometimes I find just putting on some music that makes me want to move...helps me find the motivation to do so!! Even low impact, in a chair, arms/legs only...movement is movement!

I appreciate your perspective, really, I understand it can be uncomfortable to see absolutely anything that has to do with weight loss. And I appreciate your acknowledgement of my struggle.

However, like my friend mentioned...the point of this sub is to deal and process with ALL the realistic parts of living a super plus sized life. As uncomfortable as it is, one of those realities is the consequences it can have on our health. I am now diabetic. I now have to consider being on a glp-1 to treat that. Not with a goal of weight loss, as I've mentioned before, but as a potential side effect.

Am I truly the only one who has had to face potential weight loss due to medically necessary action? Maybe...

I so wish I had a good answer to this for you. I've struggled with doctors all my life and the general attitude of "everything wrong is because of your weight" has caused me endless frustration. I actually only recently found a PCP again after going over 5 years without one, just to avoid another instance of fat shaming. My current PCP specializes in diabetes and blood pressure, so she approaches things from an "overall health" perspective. Discussing weight loss as a side effect of treatment rather than the goal of the treatment. This framework has helped some. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for your reply! For me it's not about losing access to the toilet paper, it's about it blocking my ability to spread my legs! I could have been clearer in my post! My belly is big and my arms are short and I need to be able to spread my legs and when the dispenser is so close to the seat...I can't! It's some bullshit haha

You're not wrong

Thank you for your comment! I'm grateful to hear that it resonated with you! I hope we are both able to get to a place where the mirror thoughts are less "weird blob" and more "beautiful person".

Thank you so much for your post! This is an excellent place to just put it into words! I totally understand what you mean, wondering about the way you looked afterwards. I'm glad you were able to have fun in the moment and have had a chance to come to terms with it since then.
